| 11 of 11 people found the following review helpful  Not All USB Ports Are Created Equal., By Wind Walker (NJ, USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: SnapStream Firefly PC Remote (Electronics) I purchased this Firefly remote a month ago to work with my PC-PVR (I have got a Hauppauge PVR-250 card and BeyondTV 3). As my computer and TV set are in different rooms, I thought it would be convenient to have an RF remote control so that I can still control video recording/playback while sitting in front of my TV. RF signals can usually travel a longer distance, and most importantly, they can penetrate walls.However, my first installation with the Firefly remote was not a totally success. It functioned well, but I have only measured a 6-foot of workable distance - with full battery power, and no blocking objects or interference sources nearby. I thought either I had a defective item, or the product was not as good as they said. I contacted Snapstream for support, and they suggested to try a different USB port or use a powered USB hub for plugging receiver. My computer has 6 USB ports - 4 in back and 2 in front, all built on the motherboard. I was using a...

My PC has suddenly become more entertaining and useful. With this remote, the time I spend sitting in front of the monitor is reduced.In my 860 sq ft APT, the farthest point away from my pc is about 50 ft. The remote has always worked from anywhere in the APT thru 2 walls. I was surprised to get this much range. I have not yet found a spot from which it doesn't work. To get the best range BE SURE to position the USB RF receiver near the computer as directed. With my PC, I'm always playing music. I also play digital video files that were either taken with my camera or were rented digitally from the Internet. I have a good graphics card with S-Video TV out. I got a 50 ft S-Video/Out cable; this connects my PC and TV which are in different rooms. With this remote, I now can play (and control) my entire digital music...

After adding a tv tuner card, extra hard drive and a bigger monitor, the last piece I needed was a remote. My initial plan was to use Girder (a program that allows extensive remote programming) but after I used the beyond media program with the remote, I found it served most of my needs and was very convenient. Being somewhat lazy, I haven't messed with Girder yet, though I know it allows more control. The remote itself works great. I have had zero problems with the hardware and the fact that it is RF and not IR means that I can lay it anywhere near me, pointing any direction and still fast forward the DVD to my heart's content. There are a few small quirks but they aren't even worth mentioning. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase of this product. Easy to use and fit the bill exactly for my wants. |
